... or if it was on the contrary developed as a necessary reaction to the disruption of all previous categories by planetary catastrophe. For the only way we can conceive of the events Velikovsky reconstructs is as so unusual that meaning could not be experience in them and yet so terrible that meaning had to be imposed. We are all familiar with the psychological reflex by which the mind strains to find meaning in an event which when it occurred produced only shock; this is commonest in the experience of someone else's death. The survivors of catastrophes had experienced death on an inconceivably large scale and under conditions that seemed to involve suspension of the normal kinds of causality. The compulsion thereafter to assimilate ...
482. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , and that would enable him to do something he's wanted to do all along: write an autobiography. Issue No. 4 of Kronos has appeared since the last Review , and will make a valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in the theories of Velikovsky. The contents of this number range wide over ancient history, archaeology, psychology, astrophysics and a general consideration of the nature of geological and physical science. Particularly valuable are the second part of Eva Danielus' paper on Velikovsky's identification of Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba, as supported by the archaeological evidence; "The Origins of Modern Geological Theory" by George Grinnell, which may prove to be an eye-opener ...
483. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... during the Trojan War, the planets they represent must have been observed actually engaging in conflict. (60) But such a view contradicts almost everything learned over the past fifty or sixty years about the complex nature of mythology. (61) Some myths do arise as explanations for historical events or physical phenomena, but others provide answers for psychological or social problems. Still others describe the origin of and provide the justification for traditional cultic practices. Myths about deities like Mars, Venus, and Jupiter had a variety of origins. And different myths about a single god served a variety of purposes. The assumption that most, or even many, of the myths about Mars, ...
484. Mapping Bombastic Evasion, Denial And Subterfuge [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... they have also exposed themselves as well. The basis of all their actions is precisely what we find at the heart of Mewhinney's critique bombastic denial, evasion and subterfuge, the same behavior that has always plagued Velikovsky's critics. But beneath the facade of Mewhinney's openness he was unable to restrain his anger when he labeled my reading as "abnormal psychology." Here he betrays the entire objectivity of his approach to my work because this remark has no place in any balanced or objective discussion of the merits of my work."218 That is his map, his land. Mewhinney has claimed in his introductory remarks that his criticisms were not presented "with the hope of dissuading Velikovskians ...
485. A REVISED CHRONOLOGY FOR THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , and the revised chronology, with evidence to show that Peinuzem II and Siamon lived under the first Ptolemies and not in the tenth century BC. VELIKOVSKY'S RECONSTRUCTION of ancient history, startling as it is, must naturally seem unpalatable at first glance. Scholars have been steeped for so long in the accepted history of the Near East that the psychological barriers involved have prevented many from giving Velikovsky's theories serious consideration - and many have taken offence that Velikovsky, not a professional historian or archaeologist, has so rudely challenged their faith in the basic reliability of Egyptian history. Others have rejected his views out of hand, as if Egyptian history was somehow sacrosanct, based on such sound premises ...
486. Theomachy in the Theater: on the Fringes of the Collective Amnesia [Journals] [Kronos]
... put it on display. Thus, time and time again, we see that the collective has brought the disaster upon itself through sin*- that is, by displeasing the deity, the personification of the brutal and capricious forces of the cosmos. [* The authors intend to develop this subject in a much larger work devoted to the psychology of religion and catastrophism.] Interestingly, it is from the very preciseness of our observed parallels that the most useful piece of information can be derived. Mark how the scriptwriters have seemingly drawn upon ancient archetypal images, laid down in the collective unconscious by the Great Cataclysm of C. 1500 B.C . Apparently, then, ...
487. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from irrational fears, whilst official wisdom binds it with the fetters of supersition." It was with deep regret that we learned of the death of Dr Zvi Rix in Rehovot, Israel, on 11th January 1981 after a long illness. Dr Rix's articles in Kronos and SIS Review were the visible tip of a significant attempt to explore the psychological legacies of past catastrophes in human culture. A doctor of medicine, he applied the tools of psychoanalysis to entire societies and movements. Seeking to identify the cultural mechanisms and behavioural patterns through which the traumas of the past were expressed from generation to generation, Rix opened up a new frontier in mass psychology. To him, the forces ...
488. Stephen J. Gould And Immanuel Velikovsky: Essays In The Continuing Velikovsky Affair [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... also comes in for a scathing exposure by Ginenthal and Wolfe that leaves no stone unturned. This is followed by a thorough rebuttal of Stephen J. Gould's criticism of Velikovsky showing that when he comes to Velikovsky he advances only double standards and hypocrisy to support his claims. Finally, Wolfe sums up the Affair and the historical, social, psychological, catastrophic significance of it. In an addendum to this volume, Rose presents a discussion of his personal contacts with the Velikovskys and then turns to analyze ancient calendars that indicate the 12th Egyptian dynasty must be moved closer to the present by over 1000 years. In an Appendix of over 100 pages, Rose lastly presents, for the ...
489. The Velikovsky Archive [Journals] [Aeon]
... main purpose of living entities seems to be to convert everything around them into further copies of themselves. The essay entitled "Introgenesis," and published in the online archive, was originally written in German in the late 1930s or early 1940s. The planned book was to have been a fresh elaboration of the ideas contained in this essay. Psychological and Psychoanalytic Essays- 90%. This was to be a compilation similar to the one available online. [19] These articles, in German, would need to be translated, particularly the longest and most ambitious one- "Über die Energetik der Psyche und die physikalische Existenz der Gedankenwelt." Several of these essays had already ...
490. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of publishing, whether of books or magazines. In this confusion of the age, there must be a place for a modest but forthright publication, and that is what Quanta seeks to be, that publishes for a certain critical mass of readers the facts, theories and news about a general and liberal approach to the phenomena of geology, psychology, astronomy, biology, and other science. Project 2. The Encyclopedia of Quantavolution. A person who is interested in the quantavolutionary modes of change in natural and life history is often frustrated when he searches for information about a writer, a river, an animal, a myth, a phenomenon, a period of time, a ...
